Group
Press Generate and a fruit, vegetable or herb comes up, labelled so you know which it is. The list covers everyday produce rather than rarities, which is what makes it useful for lessons, shopping and games.
The three groups are kept separate because they are used differently. Filter to fruit for a healthy eating lesson, to vegetables for a cooking prompt, or to herbs when the question is what to add rather than what to cook. Leaving the filter open mixes all three, which suits vocabulary practice.
Botanically a tomato is a fruit, and so are cucumbers, peppers and pumpkins. In cooking they behave as vegetables, and that is how they are listed here. This is worth raising with a class rather than hiding: the fact that two correct answers can disagree is a better lesson than either answer alone.
Random produce works well for sorting games, vocabulary drills and healthy eating activities. Drawing five items and asking which meal they could make together turns a naming exercise into a thinking one.
The list is filtered to the group you chose, then an item is drawn using your browser's cryptographic random source with rejection sampling, so nothing is favoured. Batches without repeats use a Fisher-Yates shuffle driven by the same source.
Choose Fruit in the filter and press Generate. One fruit comes up, labelled so there is no confusion.
Yes. The filter switches between fruit, vegetables and herbs, or leave it on any to mix all three.
Botanically a fruit, but it is used as a vegetable in cooking, so it is listed as a vegetable here - which is how most people looking for it will expect to find it.
Yes. Set the quantity and press once, then Copy All to take the list, one item per line.
Yes. Drawing produce at random works well for vocabulary, sorting exercises and healthy eating lessons.
Yes. Each item is drawn with your browser's cryptographic random source, so everything in the chosen group has an equal chance.
